Fat_slayer 4th Gear January 4, 2022 Share January 4, 2022 Having owned a Passat Exclusiveline for 2 years followed by BMW X3 and current G20, i feel that the VW is in no way inferior in the way it drives and NVH. In fact, the VW tops both BMWs in terms of gadgets such as massage seats with ventilation, full digital cockpit (vs ID6 for X3), sunroof as well as full nappa leather at a lower price point. But like most people, i was attracted to the blue white badge lol.... If there is a chance for the Arteon to be sold in SG with a "reasonable" i.e. lower than its German rivals' price, it would be tempting to me. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ppl often say some car is going to be better than the bmw, merc or audi but they forgot ppl here go for brands. [OT] you prolly see ah tiongs more often than any car you can mention [/OT] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The facelifts model comes with 320bhp . Only time will tell if it’s going to be the most under rated car like the Subaru largacy B5 used to be 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, who buys rolex when a casio is way more accurate and shock resistance. Just like leg room and comfort is important and hence you probably have a better time in a arteon than a c180 struggling under load. But any time, if you visit a condo, the gate open without much resistance vs a vw anytime.by the security gate when a housing agent need to show the potential clients 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koster 3rd Gear January 4, 2022 Share January 4, 2022 In Europe, VW is probably their Toyota equivalent. But in Singapore, VW tries to be mercs or BMW equivalent. Having said that, VW seems to lose their market share nowadays unlike those days of Golfs and Scirrocos several years ago. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SZ_ford 5th Gear January 5, 2022 Share January 5, 2022 if branding isn't the top priority, i would say arteon is a good buy. But like to share, coincidentally i had 2 cousins who bought C180 and Arteon. must say the build quality in arteon is far more superior than c180, which surprised me. the way the door close in c180 gave away how 'hollow' or 'thin' the door is. not sure of that's a right way to judge the build quality but Arteon's door closes with a more assuring 'thump' 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
